Kratos Wants You To Have The God Of War PSP Entertainment Pack
While Kratos cut a bloody swath across our PSPs awhile back, his "Deep Red" (AKA "Bloody") PSP is just now hitting North American shores. SCEA today launched the God of War® PSP® Entertainment Pack, which follows up on what has become the highest ranked PSP game of all time.
The limited edition vermilion PSP retails for $199.99 and sports a silkscreened image of Kratos on the back, a-la Darth Vader on the super-slick white PSP bundle. Inside the box you'll find both your Kratos-themed PSP as well as a copy of God of War: Chains of Olympus, a UMD of Superbad and a voucher to download Syphon Filter: Combat Ops for free on the PSN.
That's two games, a gorgeous piece of hardware, and a totally random UMD movie - not bad for the price, especially if you're a newcomer to the PSP, since GoW has all the hallmarks of the elusive "killer app."

you didn't hear it from me, but the release of Madden '09 will also be accompanied by another limited edition PSP bundle. the "Favre" entertainment pack will contain a metallic blue psp. a umd movie, the name i can't recall at the moment, some sort of football movie of which i have never heard. it will also have a credit for a psp game available from the store called Beats, or perhaps Beatz. someone may want to look into that. i was originally going to get the Kratos psp, but i am totally enamored with the color blue, and would definitely enjoy it more.
I would so buy the red PSP... if it didn't have Kratos on the back.
